Inuvika OVD Enterprise vs Vagon Cloud Computer

Inuvika OVD Enterprise delivers Windows and Linux applications and virtual desktops to devices or HTML5-compatible web browsers. It can be installed on premises or in public or private clouds, while a web-based console manages servers, users, and applications. The Enterprise Secure Gateway provides remote access without a VPN or additional external ports beyond port 443. OVD includes two-factor authentication, supports Duo and external SAML2 providers, and uses TLSv1.2 to secure sessions. Its Data Air Locking approach keeps applications and data centralized in the datacenter while processing remains on the server. OVD integrates with Active Directory and LDAP-compliant directories, and works with VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer, Hyper-V, KVM, and Nutanix AHV, as well as NFS, CIFS, and WebDAV storage. A single instance can serve multiple domains with tenant data isolated. Desktop clients are available for Windows, macOS, and Linux; mobile clients are available for iOS and Android. The listed five-year subscription is $7.50 a year, billed per concurrent user per month.
